Proceeding contribution from Robert Marshall-Andrews (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I am sorry that we will not have a meeting of minds. It is a matter of semantics more than anything else but I can conceive of a Palestinian terrorist bomber who was in this country saying, when interviewed by the police, ““I believe we have considerable sympathy from politicians in this country. I remember hearing Cherie Booth and Bob Marshall-Andrews saying that they had sympathy with our plight in the middle east. I was encouraged by that.”” If my hon. Friend the Member for Northampton, North (Ms Keeble) cannot understand that, there is no point in repeating it. It appears self-explanatory to me.
